Waistcost 2

Having realised that when I went to buy more black thread the other day that I actually bought white (why?!?) I couldn't crack straight into the waistcoat. But  ... Neice being a little on quirky side she requested a duck on the inside.

Ok  ...

So applique duck time. After much crappy drawing of a 2D duck, hubby shoved me out the way and took on the drawing task. I used interfacing on each piece to stabilise the fabric and the sewed the pieces together leaving the raw edges a la Poppy Treffy (although obvs not anywhere near her standard!) giving it a wing, beak and eye. And then of course sewing it into the centre of the back lining. Think it looks pretty cool  ... if you like secret ducks in your clothing!
